For those of you that have not heard this asshole spent 42 million on renovations. I am in the wrong racket. Maybe I should find Jesus there's a lot more money in it.

You could maybe also become a republican governor for North Carolina. Ours helped slash unemployment payment extensions while authorizing all new plumbing fixtures for his residence.(Taxpayer funded, of course.) Priorities with either asshole are skewed all to hell.

I also heard the Pope suspended him too, which honestly, I didn't even know he could do.

Not 42 million. He spent 55 million.
Best thing about this story is that it caused a boom in people leaving the catholic church arround the erea of Collogne.

Now I'm not saying it's religion that made him do it,
But it certainly gave him a means to make it easy.
Thanks to Cinjin for making it more 'sig space' friendly.

During the 19th century, catholic churches all throughout northern Germany were sacked and the property of the catholic church in the states of Prussia, Hannover, Hamburg and others were confiscated by the protestant royalty.
In this and the last century the catholic church demanded and got reperations in financial form for that which they had demanded (the irony, considering how they see most of the past as irrelevant especialy when it comes to burning witches).
So the catholic church of Germany is rich. And really big time fucking rich. Which is the actual scandal here, during the course of the revelations coming from Tebarz Elst it was made public that a vast amount of Bishops and Cardinals have luxurious limousines and estates.
